In other words, the reciprocating type compressor 1 may include themotor portion (or motor) 100 installed within a hermetic container 10 toperform forward and reverse rotation, and the compression portion orassembly 200 installed at an upper side of the motor portion 100 tocompress a refrigerant by receiving a rotational force from the motorportion 100.

The motor portion 100 may use a constant-speed motor or an invertermotor capable of performing normal rotation and reverse rotation. Themotor portion 100 may include a stator 110 supported by a frame 20within the hermetic container 10, a rotor 120 rotatably installed at aninner side of the stator 110, and a crank shaft 130 that transfers arotational force of the rotor 120 to the compression portion 200.

A pin portion (or pin) 131 of the crank shaft 130 may be coupled to aconnecting rod 230. The connecting rod 230 may receive a rotationalforce of the crank shaft 130 and may allow a piston 220 coupled to anopposite side of the crank shaft 130 to linearly move (that is, a linearreciprocating motion) within a cylinder 210.

An oil passage 133 may be formed within the crank shaft 130 in alongitudinal direction of the shaft. The oil passage 133 may not belimited to a shown shape and may have various shapes different from it.The compression portion 200 may include the cylinder 210, the piston220, the connection rod 230, and a valve assembly 250.

The cylinder 210 may include a compression space having a predeterminedsize, and may be arranged at an upper side of the hermetic container 10.The cylinder 210 may be formed in a cylindrical shape and may be formedintegrally with a frame 20 or assembled to a frame 20 and coupledthereto.

The piston 220 may compress a refrigerant while linearly reciprocatingwithin a compression space of the cylinder 211. The piston 220 may havea cylindrical shape having a closed end, and may be rotatably coupled toa piston connecting portion 235 of the connecting rod 230 by using afastening pin 221. In this way, a coupling between the piston 220 andthe connecting rod 230 may be formed.

A first end of the connecting rod 230 may be coupled to the pin portion131 of the crank shaft 130, and a second end of the connecting rod 230may be coupled to the piston 220. The connecting rod 230 may convert arotational force of the crank shaft 130 into a linear motion of thepiston 220.

The valve assembly 250 may be coupled to the cylinder 211, and mayfurther include a plurality of valves that include a suction valve and adischarge valve. Meanwhile, a suction muffler, a discharge cover, and adischarge muffler, for example, may be further added in the compressionportion 200.

FIG. 2 and FIG. 3 are a perspective view and a top view schematicallyillustrating a coupling shape of a crank shaft, a connecting rod, and apiston included in a reciprocating type compressor according to anembodiment. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken along line “IV-IV” ofFIG. 2.

Referring to FIG. 2 to 4, the first end of the shown connecting rod 230may be coupled to the pin portion 131 of a crank shaft 130 and thesecond end thereof may be coupled to the piston 220. The connecting rod230 may convert a rotational force of the crank shaft 130 into a linearmotion of the piston 220.

For this purpose, the connecting rod 230 may include a shaft connectingportion (or first end or shaft connector) 231 that is connected to thepin portion 131 of the crank shaft 130, a piston connecting portion (orsecond end) 235 that is connected to the piston 220, and a rod portion(or main body) 233 that is connected between the shaft connectingportion 231 and the piston connecting portion 235. The shaft connectingportion 231 may include a tubular body 231 a that includes a pininsertion hollow 231 c into which the pin portion 131 of the crank shaft130 is inserted.

The tubular body 231 a may include a socket portion (or socket) 231 b. Aspecific shape of the socket portion 231 b may project outward from acircumferential surface of the tubular body 231 a and may project so asto have a size and shape capable of storing a ball bearing or joint 233a. In other words, the ball bearing 233 a provided at a first end of therod portion 233 may be received inside of the socket portion 231 a.Because of the ball bearing 233 a, a frictional resistance of the rodportion 233 that is connected to the tubular body 231 a may be greatlyreduced.

The piston connecting portion 235 may be formed at an opposite side ofthe shaft connecting portion 231. The piston connecting portion 235 maybe connected to the piston 220 by a coupling of a fastening pin 221 (seeFIG. 4) that is inserted through the piston 220. For this purpose, thefastening pin 221 (see FIG. 4) may have an annular shape so as to befitted and fixed within the piston.

The rod portion 233 may be connected in a rod-shape between the shaftconnecting portion 231 and the piston connecting portion 235. The ballbearing 233 a that is provided at the first end may be received in thesocket portion 231 b of the shaft connecting portion 231.

Further, by using the ball bearing 233 a at aconnecting portion between the pin portion 131 of the crank shaft 130and the connecting rod 230, it may be possible to apply a ball jointstructure to reduce a frictional resistance.

According to the above configuration, the reciprocating type compressor1 according to an embodiment may further include a bushing bearing 240that is interposed between the tubular body 231 a and the pin portion131. The bushing bearing (or bushing) 240 may be inserted through a pininsertion hollow 231 c (see FIG. 4) so that it is closely contacted toan inner circumferential surface of a tubular body 231 a, and it may beclosely contacted between the tubular body 231 a and the pin portion131.

As shown in FIG. 4, the bushing bearing 240 may contact the ball bearing233 a that is received inside of the socket portion 231 b through anouter circumferential surface to prevent a disengagement of the ballbearing 233 a, Next, a process of assembling a reciprocating typecompressor 1 according to an embodiment will be described with referenceto FIGS. 5 to 8.

The second insertion hole 231 e may have a rectangular hole shaperounded at each corner. As the second insertion hole 231 e has such ashape, an entire rod portion except the ball bearing 233 a, includingthe piston connecting portion 235, may be inserted through the secondinsertion hole 231 e. Therefore, a ball joint type coupling may be made.

Referring to FIG. 6, the ball bearing 233 a may be received in or at aninner side of the socket portion 231 b, and then, the bushing bearing240 may be inserted into the tubular body 231 a through the pininsertion hollow 231 c.
